I understand some Ford 10 have the rod studs curiously forged as part of the rod. Maybe it was to preclude wrong substitutes..important with the Fordson trucks which went everywhere at astronomic rpm. If you think your Seven is noisy...Not quite true
As one who has contributed a very regular tech artilce to a car club mag for 45 years I rather envied those mags. Their audience renewed every 7 years or so whereas, as with the Seven forum, many of the car club members are the original fogies so articles cannot be regularly repeated.
The older I get the more I forget. So seeing an article reproduced just a handful of years ago seems like reading it for the first time.
